OK, got my 12 dx in my bedroom, which is upstairs. My house has a huge vaulted ceiling which throws heat up into my room, in testing I've seen my tank get as high as 85.6 and as low as 78. But it can get hot up there, real fast.
My dilemma, should I:
1) Replace the JBJ fans (If so, how high can I go? Can I use the same wiring, God knows, I don't want to stress the stock ballast, I'm electrically illiterate, so any help would be great)
2) Mount a fan above it on the wall shooting down at the tank?
3) Add extra fans on the lid or sides? (if yes, can I just walk into Radioshack and get a computer fan(speed?) and a DC adapter?) How do I wire that?
4) Get a Nanocustoms chiller(don't really have the cash for that now, so not really an option, but may consider it down the road)
Concerned that I'm going to fry my tank one day!
